Depth Derived from Experience

I am convinced, and I say it in my correspondence and teaching of aspiring writers, that the best and most effective writing comes not just from study and thinking, it comes from genuine experiences in the arena of life and ministry. Depth comes from experience, from processed experiences. There are many things that I don’t feel qualified to write about because I still have too much to learn. Three of them are:

  1. Marriage and Child rearing.
  2. Spiritual Warfare.
  3. The book of Revelation.


I still have way too much to learn in these areas. However, I wrote up an outline of thoughts and ideas on the second one. It is a study from Ephesians 6. It can be read right here: Survival in the War Zone.

Collaborative Writing

There are very few people of Papua New Guinea who can sit down and write a book. But, get a few of them together working on the same project as a workgroup, and ideas fly like sparks from a grinder; words flow like water from a tap; and great writing can take place. This is what I believed a year ago, and this is what I have seen come true. One book is completed, Josiah – Chain Breaker, and another one, Onesimus – Transformed, almost so.

Excellent writing by some great people. Excerpts to follow at a later date.

And what a subject it is!

Don't let the word "Biblical" shy anyone away. This word is not synonymous with "old" or "dry" or "stale" or "strict" or "boring." It is much more closely allied to "alive" and "fresh" and "relevant" and "dynamic" and even "life changing," whenever it is given a decent chance. The Bible is full of intrigue, complex characters, plots, wisdom, folly, failure, success, real people, real situations, real solutions.

The goal of this blog is to highlight some of these features, demonstrate the truth of these claims, and perhaps stimulate a new wave of research and careful, creative writing There is much to post, just need more time.
